Thursday
I had a pretty good day, although it was hot and my kids were tired, crazy, and ready for break as much as me! I was a little frustrated during tutorias, but made it through and came back home for dinner and packing for Semana Santa! One cool thing today: got a ride up to my house in the back of an empty dump truck! It was great.
Friday
Today was a good day, considering it was the last day before vacay. Everyone was kinda laid back and did easier stuff; we let our kids play or have a party to celebrate. Tad, Laura Beth and I left right away after school to Gracias to catch the bus to Santa Rosa to pick up our friends. I was so excited on the bus; I was bouncing up and down on the seat because I couldn’t wait to finally see Mandi and Amy! They were coming to Honduras for our Semana Santa to travel and see me. We had been planning this since the fall and it was finally here. When we arrived in Santa Rosa, I rushed off the bus with my stuff and sprinted across the street to Espresso American where they were waiting. I literally attacked them when I saw them; we caused quite a scene! Semana Santa could finally begin!
We did all of the introductions between Mandi, Amy, Tad, Laura Beth and Tad’s two friends, Mike and Steve. Steve met Mandi and Amy at the airport and they all traveled to Santa Rosa from San Pedro together. Mike is actually working in Honduras right now for a microfinance group which is helping small coffee farms down here (if you want more info about this, let me know!). Mike had found us a hotel so after all the intros we loaded into taxis and settled into our hotel. We freshened up and headed out for dinner in town to a great pizza place. For those of us from Gracias, it was a treat to have great American-like pizza! Everyone got to know each other more chatting about jobs, Honduras, the States, West Michigan, etc. We ended the evening at the hotel poolside. Tomorrow….COPAN!!
